Did Vanga cast Bobby by seeing just a picture?

Yes, at the trailer launch of Animal Bobby revealed, ¡°Sandeep showed me a photo of mine from the time I was playing Celebrity Cricket League, I wasn¡¯t working much at the time. In the photo, I was looking away at the horizon. He said I want to cast you because of this expression. This is what I want for the film ¡®I said chalo bekaari ke din kaam aa gaye¡® (my jobless days worked for me).¡±

¡°The condition of my career was such that I never thought that I would get such a great role.¡±

Soon after this, several people took to Reddit and shared some pictures which might be the one that clicked in Sandeep¡¯s mind. One of which featured Bobby dressed in blue with long hair and a heavy beard which actually looked like his character. Someone even said, ¡°I think it was actually this picture, very close to his actual look in Animal too.¡±

Bobby Deol's thoughts on Animal!

At the Jagran Film Festival, Bobby was heard saying, ¡°I was really lucky that I got to be a part of Animal, I have loved Sandeep¡¯s work. He is the only director who has made the same film twice and succeeded both times. I want to do different characters and as I have said before, I want to break my image, get challenged and be very uncomfortable as an actor.¡±

¡°I am a big fan of Ranbir Kapoor. So I was really excited to learn that Ranbir would be playing the main lead, and I knew it would be amazing working with him as I have always loved his work. It is an emotional, violent drama with love, romance and hate. Sandeep brings out different elements in characterisations which are so different from other filmmakers.¡±
